My second works for 2008 (Totally 3rd works in my modeling life).
I made M1A2 TUSK and It had to be made for TUSK spec :
1) ERA to Side Skirt
2) Exhaust Cover to Rear panel
3) RWS to turret
4) CSAMM on the 120mm Barrel
5) Armor Gun Shield to Gunner hatch

I used DML M1A2 SEP as basic kit and some aftermarket parts for this conversion :
1) Voyger M1A2 ERA
2) AFV Club RWS
3) Voyger Cal.50 (for CSAMM)
4) LionMarc Cal. 40 (for RWS)

I scratchbuilt Exhaust Cover by 0.3mm plate because Two of eduard exhaust covers that I purchased are wrong details. So I had to make it by my hand. After that, I found Voyger released accurate Exhaust Cover. Also scratchbuilt Armor Gun Shield because there's no aftermarket products.

Because of my technics, I couldn't made all this conversion more accurately. This is the third works after 21c. In fact, These photos are more better than real one. I took about 200 shots and selected 30 pictures of best shot. On 2009, I would try more exciting Iraq War items.

Thank you for watching these pictures.

Looks pretty good. Nice job on the TUSK upgrades. A few pointers though. First off, it looks way to yellow and brown to me, it could just be the lighting, but I would dust it with a more sandy color or repaint to get it more uniform. All your optics and vision blocks should have a red anti-laser coating added. They are not clear. The tail lights look like you have painted the slits on them red too. They are blackout marker and stop lights and should be black slits. Same with the small slits on the front lights as well. The .50 cal CSAMM mounted above the barrel should be in line with it. Right now it is shooting off to the left and a little higher than the main gun. The road wheel hubs should be black. They are actually clear with oil inside, but appear black or a very dark (almost black) brown. The T handle on the left side rear of the hull is a HALON fire extinguisher pull handle and should be red. The loader's gunshield is missing its ballistic glass too. The exhaust deflector that you have thrown on top of the turret isn't used w/the rear slat armor, also it should be bare metal and scorched. It heats up to almost 1200 degrees from the hot exhaust and will burn any paint off it. Lastly, the first side skirt is replaced with a non-ballistic sheet metal skirt on the TUSK to reduce weight. It should be replicated with 0.020 sheet styrene in the same shape to be correct.

Pretty good job. A few tweaks and it can be great.

Some of the same issues with the Bradley as well. Paint looks too yellow. It needs its optics painted with a red anti-laser finish too.

Are the resin ERA panels for sale anywhere?

Voyager Model makes them.

But the kit is inaccurate compared to TUSK I upgrade kit, and only the prototype had slat armour.Word is out that Voyager is making the Tusk II upgrade kit...but I don't really know.

I like your build alot ! MAYBE THE LIGHT IS WHAT MAKES IT TOO YELLOW but a great build never the less I hope my build of the Dragon M1A1 AIM I have on the work bench looks as nice. I also liked your personal on board gear a lot too. Keep up the good work .

Thanks Gino.

I purchased this ERA (from Voyger) in Korean online shop.
You can find it anywhere that Voyger sells.

I heard Legend also making TUSK conversion Kits too.
That's really good news to me. I love conversion kits than scratchbuilding.

I used MIG's Gulf Sand pigment to this TUSK. So it looking so yellow.
I use [Xtracrylix Armor Sand] for base color to my US Armors in Iraq.

The tow bars should be nato green or tan.Most of them are green.

That's a nice Bradley there... Together with the Abrams, nice detailing on the exhaust stains too.

1st off, very good looking model. The only thing I have noticed is that one the Right Rear of the tank, you have a box in the wrong spot. The larger box you have on the lower part needs to be moved up. It does not mount that far down because if it would be mounted down there it would get tore up easily due to the fact that the lower part is just a thin Aluminum fender that gets tore up easily.
